IMPACT REPORT ON FARMERS FIELD IS THE TALK OF L.A.

In Los Angeles, the environmental impact report was the talk of the town.

With the National Football League slow to embrace any of the Los Angeles football proposals, some might call AEG’s optimism empty rhetoric. Not Los Angeles Daily News columnist Vincent Bonsignore.

“Game on,” he wrote, adding, “Keep in mind two things. First, the NFL wants back in Los Angeles. Second, Anschutz has too much money and too much pride invested in Farmers Field to get this far and fail.

“That means there is enough motivation on both sides to get a deal done.”

In San Francisco, the start to stadium construction in Santa Clara (a formal groundbreaking is on tap for April 19) led to an obvious question: When will the lights go out for good at Candlestick Park?

The answer is soon after the 49ers abandon the stadium. But what would take its place? Dan Schreiber of the San Francisco Examiner reported: 6,000 houses.
